by

<p>Franny Callaghan feels invisible. With a missing mother only seen occasionally who speaks to the family through the closed door of her bedroom or the ensuite bathroom and a father and younger sister, who travel most of the time, home long enough to wash their underwear and re-pack before heading to the next competition so her sister can be an Olympic speed skater, Franny feels alone most of the time. </p><p>Franny’s brother died a few years before and is only seen in the photos on the wall. Her family hasn’t spoken of him since the day of his big funeral and all the news coverage of the tragic accident that killed eight members of the Ridgewood High School Orchestra and one of his teachers. And Franny Callaghan remains… just the awkward middle kid in a family that used to look like everyone else’s.</p><p>What if Franny just took off to go see her brother’s favorite band on the anniversary of his death? Maybe that would be the jolt her family so badly needed.</p>

Natalie’s Glasses

by

To tell you the truth, and this is no word of a lie, the story of Natalie’s Glasses is about learning to see. But then again isn’t everything? Natalie Whitman is nine years-old, in grade four, and attends Lunenburg Academy. Natalie’s dad and granddad went to the Lunenburg Academy; even her granddad’s dad and his granddad went there.
The Lunenburg Academy is the most beautiful school in the most beautiful town in the whole world. When you tell people the Lunenburg Academy is a school, sometimes they don’t believe you. Children aren’t supposed to go to a school this beautiful. Sometimes, though, Natalie doesn’t notice or think of just how beautiful it really is, that is until somebody wants to take it away from her.
I don’t think I told you, but Natalie wears glasses. What is important to mention is that she loses her glasses and the funny thing is only then could she see. This is an epic children’s journey . . . a journey of discovery and belief in yourself. The spirit of Natalie Whitman triumphs in this battle with adults who just can’t see.
